"Very pleased w Lester and his crew!! Lester is very kind, personable and professional. A man of his word, he got the work started and done in a more than timely manner: definitely a hardworking team. I am very pleased with the results. Not only did he address the major issues I'd hired him for, he provided (and implemented) suggestions to improve the landscaping of my entire property. It looks fantastic. Lester was easy to get ahold of and very responsive in all communication. I highly recommend In The Rough Stonework!!"

"Jeff and his crew did a fantastic job removing trees, weeds and asphalt from the back of my home’s lot. It had been an eyesore for many years, but within hours, the area was cleared, leveled, covered in plastic and then dirt for future planting or mulching. He worked with me to get this job completed within my budget. I am thrilled with the outcome and forever grateful for their professionalism and kindness."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

You may be looking to identify maple trees to use for home improvement projects. In that case, you can tell hard maples by looking at their leaves. Leaves will have a U-shaped dip, or sinus, between the points, or lobes, of the leaves. Leaves of soft maples tend to have V-shaped sinuses.

If you already have the cut wood in front of you, look for a light, uniform color to identify hard maple wood and check for variations of red, gray, or brown streaks and an overall darker color in soft maple wood.

The amount of time it takes for a tree trunk to rot depends on several factors, including the tree’s size, species, and environmental conditions. It can take anywhere from a few years to several decades for a tree’s trunk to rot. A tree stump, on the other hand, can take up to 10 years to disappear after it’s decayed naturally.

For small trees, tree removal should take just a couple of hours to complete. Assume that a mid-sized tree will take between four and eight hours, depending on the extent of the equipment required and the health of the tree. Remember to add up to two hours for stump removal. Larger trees could take as long as one or two working days, about eight hours each.

Many gardeners charge an hourly rate for their services, and your total cost will depend on the amount of services and the experience of the gardener. Gardeners with basic experience charge between $20 and $30 per hour, while a more experienced gardener can charge as much as $60 to $88 per hour.

The cost of lawn mowing is about $125, which you might need on a weekly or biweekly basis. However, the cost of soil testing averages about $1,450, which should only be done every three to five years. 

Make sure the tree roots soak around a day before you dig the tree up for the transplant. Keep the roots wet while the tree is above ground. After the transplant is finished, provide consistent water every day for the first month or so. You don’t want to overwater the tree, but you do want to keep the roots wet so they can thrive in their new environment.
